West Ham United have been linked with Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge since last summer.

TalkSPORT pundit Micky Quinn has claimed that he has just been informed that West Ham United are trying to complete a sensational swoop for Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge.

West Ham have been tentatively linked with the England international throughout the month to date, but they have not pushed too hard for a deal.

However, Quinn claims that West Ham are now trying to rush through a transfer before the deadline closes.

Quinn has strong links in Merseyside, having been born and brought up in Liverpool.

West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has suggested that he did not expect any deals to be done today, but that could change if a deal became available.

And, with Slaven BIlic eager to add a striker, Sturridge could now be on the London side’s wishlist.

Sturridge’s future at Liverpool looks uncertain, as he has been unable to hold down a place in Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up this season.

West Ham have pulled out of a deal for Brentford striker Scott Hogan already this month, and Sturridge could be seen as a higher profile alternative.
